Two injured in two different shootings

STOCKTON - Two people were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds following separate shootings Monday night and Tuesday morning in north and south Stockton, police said.

The first shooting occurred about 6:10 p.m. Monday near Wagner Heights Road and Hickock Drive. A 23-year-old man was confronted by two men, one who pistol-whipped the victim while the other demanded his wallet, authorities said. The victim ran away when he heard a gunshot but soon realized he had been struck, police said. The assailants were described as two black men in their 20s with dark clothing.

The second shooting occurred just after 2 a.m. Tuesday near South Sutter and East Anderson streets, authorities said. A 20-year-old woman told police she and a friend were in the area when an older-model black truck drove up and the driver shot at them, striking the woman. The shooter was described as a heavyset Latino man in his 20s standing 5 feet 9 inches tall with a red shirt and red sweat pants, police said.
